Car entousiats, talk to me about : Ford Fiesta 4.

What is it to know about this car? I actually need to change my old and trusty 106 and I quite like the size of the fiesta 4. I know it's going to be slow, but it's kinda the aim of buying an heavy pig. Anything I should know? PointS worth checking? I got one, that sliped through my hands two days ago and I am going to try and see one on saturday. So before I spend waht is for me a silly amount of money for a car i'd like to be sure;
